A comprehensive overview of cutaneous manifestations of HIV/AIDS, focusing heavily on dermatologic pathology, diagnosis, and management across various infectious and non-infectious conditions. The text details the skin involvement of deep fungal infections (such as Cryptococcosis and Histoplasmosis), parasitic infestations (like Scabies and Leishmaniasis), and a wide array of viral and bacterial infections (including Herpes Simplex, Molluscum Contagiosum, and Mycobacterial diseases) in immunocompromised patients. Additionally, it addresses neoplasms such as Kaposi’s Sarcoma and epithelial cancers, papulosquamous disorders like psoriasis, and various adverse drug reactions and photosensitive eruptions associated with HIV and its treatments like HAART. The material consistently emphasizes how the severity and presentation of these conditions are influenced by the patient's immune status and CD4 cell count.
